Purple Cows

We discussed Seth Godin's concept of the purple cow and being remarkable. It turned out to be a fun little topic at this week's sales meeting.

With the market adjusting itself so severely. The Maitland agents are as a whole, understanding that to stay in business and sell during this period, you need to be better than the rest, or as in this case, remarkable.

I am hearing of remarkable efforts in prospecting. Remarkable efforts with their marketing. I hear daily of remarkable efforts to keep deals together all the way up to the closing table.

This is a remarkable group of agents.
